| Art Bell is hosting his annual Ghost-to-Ghost radio program tonight. You can usually count on some really good spooky stories. You should be able to listen online through KFI AM 640's web site, if you're someplace where you can get online at that time. Should go a long way to helping you feel Halloweenish! |
Is he out of retirement? If so, what time (in Korea) is his show on. I used to listen to it every night. Fantastic stuff. |

| I drank a whole bottle of vodka at a Halloween party. It was a very Halloweeny thing to do. |

Art Bell does his show live from the Philippines on weekends and October 31. You can listen online for free here:

It's three hours long. Ghost-to-Ghost starts at 10:00 PM on Tuesday, Oct. 31 in L.A. which would be 3:00 PM Wednesday Nov 1 in Seoul, if my calculations are correct (someone please correct them if they aren't)! |

| I don't care what happens in schools during ESL class, but I'd be very unsupportive of efforts outside of schools to get Koreans to import yet another hyper-commercialised Western holiday. The costumes, the decorations, the begging for candy -- let that stay in the schools during ESL hour and keep it out of Korea proper. |
Guru, when the little girl returns I'll make sure she rings on your door asking for sweets, and if you don't give her what her sugar-addled body craves, she'll smash your tiki torches to smithereens.
That's the Halloween festive spirit in a nutshell, I think. |
Hey, I'd love for another excuse to dress up the hounds, the house, the gullflend, the me in spook attire. And I think it would be wild to turn Fortaleza de Guru into a haunted house for random kiddiewinkles, with scary movies showing in the HT, and bobbing for chips in the FryBoy. But all that folderal for _one_friggin'_night_???  Naturally I've nothing against ESL teachers using the occasion to create some fun activities for the students in a "this is something that WE do in OUR country, let's learn about this FOREIGN, UN-KOREAN concept, kiddies!" I also understand parents who are from countries that make a great deal of Halloween wanting their children here to experience it. Again, I just hope that Korea proper, Korea outside ESL hour does not pull another monkey-see, monkey-do with this wholly foreign, and really quite meaningless "tradition". |
